Question 20
If a grasshopper is eaten by a frog, then the energy transfer will be from

(a) producer to decomposer
(b) producer to primary consumer
(c) primary consumer to secondary consumer
(d) secondary consumer to primary consumer

Answer 1

Option (c) is correct.
In a food chain, if a grasshopper is eaten by a frog, then the energy transfer will be from the primary consumer to the secondary consumer. Grasshopper feeds on producers that is, the grass or plants. So, it occupies the level of a primary consumer. Frogs eating a grasshopper thus becomes the secondary consumer.
